"Using information from inside the rocks on Earth’s surface, we have
reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the last 1.8 billion
years.
It is the first time Earth’s geological record has been used like this, looking
so far back in time. This has enabled us to make an attempt at mapping the
planet over the last 40% of its history, which you can see in the animation
below.
The work, led by Xianzhi Cao from the Ocean University in China, is now
published in the open-access journal
Geoscience Frontiers."
